Martial Master

The ugly, thin cloaked figure immediately revealed a look of surprise upon seeing the newcomer, standing up abruptly. But before he could speak, the cloaked person had quickly approached him and whispered, "Hurry, those people are catching up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man didn’t even look back and swiftly descended another staircase in the tavern, then left the building. However, as soon as he exited the tavern, several imposing martial artists had surrounded him, instantly enveloping the cloaked figure in the middle.

"Hmph, two little ants dared to offend our Hun Tian Merchants Association and think they can escape from us. They really don't know their limits..." The leader emitted a terrifying killing intent, revealing himself to be a peak Early Phase Martial God, and the two individuals beside him were also formidable, both being Nineth Level Martial Gods.

The cloaked figure let out a cold snort, crossing his arms over his chest, with a similarly overwhelming aura, also a peak Early Phase Martial God, but his fluctuating aura clearly indicated he had been injured.

"Hahaha, you actually dare to resist. Now tell me... where's the other guy among you?" The expert from the Hun Tian Merchants Association sneered, his killing intent surging, his gaze sharp like an eagle.

"If you're going to fight, just do it. Why waste so many words?" The cloaked figure replied with a hoarse voice, his tone resolute.

"You have quite the sense of loyalty, but it's laughable. Even if he hides, how long can he hide? Just a little peak Martial Emperor. In this Tian Lei City, can he really escape the pursuit of our Hun Tian Merchants Association? Come out obediently, hand over what you have, and there’s a chance to live. Otherwise, both of you will die." The expert from the Hun Tian Merchants Association spoke with extreme disdain.

At this moment, many people had already been attracted by the commotion here, and upon seeing such a scene, they couldn't help but discuss amongst themselves.

"Hun Tian Merchants Association, this is a well-established association. To act in Tian Lei City, they really have some guts!"

"Since the last incident with the Black Cult Association, more and more people have been fighting in Tian Lei City."

"That was a small scuffle. Didn't you see that both sides are filled with experts? That cloaked person, I haven't seen him before, but his aura is not simple. Could he also be a Martial God? I hope the Hun Tian Merchants Association doesn't repeat the mistakes of the Liao Zhong Merchants Association."

"Come on, do you think everyone is like President Chen and Lord Hei Bei?"

"This guy is unlucky; he didn’t offend anyone good and chose to tangle with the Hun Tian Merchants Association. Isn't that seeking death?"

Various voices of discussion echoed, and while there were many Martial God experts in Tian Lei City, in the eyes of most martial artists, they were still the highest level of existence. Moreover, one side was the Hun Tian Merchants Association, and now that they wanted to kill, no one dared to utter a word, let alone intervene.

Everyone could only mourn for the cloaked figure. In Tian Lei City, one had to be low-key. Even Martial God experts could easily offend forces they shouldn't.

The cloaked figure who had been in the tavern stood on the second floor, watching the scene outside with a worried and tense expression.

He was no one else but the black slave who had arrived at Tian Lei City not long ago.

The cloaked figure below was the Elder of Great Sorrow. The two of them had been closely monitored by the Law Enforcement Hall, and it had taken a lot of effort to escape their tracking and arrive in Lei Prefecture, heading for Tian Lei City.

Who would have thought that during their journey to Tian Lei City, they inadvertently discovered a treasure, obtaining an item that could allow a Nineth Level Martial God to cleanse their true essence: a ninth-level imperial fruit. However, before they could feel excited about it, they were targeted by people from the Hun Tian Merchants Association, who demanded they hand over the imperial fruit.
